The decision to sell or purchase a home is one of the biggest a person will make. Sellers may have lived in a property for many years, raising a family and making memories there. Potential buyers will be looking for a place where they can feel truly comfortable – not to mention a piece of real estate that’s going to represent a good investment for years to come. So, if you’re planning to invest in a new property, make sure it is safe and does not require any additional maintenance by going for Building Inspector and house inspections in Melbourne.

That’s why it’s critical that the decision to make an offer on a house is well-informed, not just driven by emotion and a great sales pitch. How better to proceed than with accurate and reliable information about the property you will receive through new house inspections.

Same-Day Property Reports

We follow up our new house inspections through property reports for Melbourne customers. These are completed on-site and presented to clients after all house inspections. We are happy to go over the report with you to ensure that you have a complete understanding of our findings. We are available for follow-up telephone consultations after all property inspections, at no extra cost to the client.

Pre Purchase Building Inspections

These inspections are conducted for anyone wanting an indication of a property’s condition prior to purchase. Whether you’re buying your first home or you’re looking to participate in house auctions, our home inspections in Melbourne can help ensure there are no hidden problems or major issues that may cost you money at a later date. Each inspection is carefully carried out by our experienced building inspectors who offer a quick turnaround and deliver clear and precise reports.

Pest Inspections

Pest inspections can be carried out if a client suspects they may have termites or borers at their property. Termite and timber pest inspections can be combined with pre purchase inspections and a discount offered.

Property Handover Reports

Our new home inspections are carried out on new builds before making the final payment to the Builder, no matter how much you trust the builder. Having a final inspection ensures that all defects are rectified and completed prior to you moving in.
Dilapidation Reports

Dilapidation Reports

Dilapidation reports are conducted to document the current condition of a property prior to construction commencing on a neighbouring property. We follow a comprehensive dilapidation report template that helps ensure any damage to neighbouring properties as a result of construction activities is corrected and compensation paid.

Our reports are very thorough and contain all the essential information gathered by us during the new house inspections. We strive to provide exceptional customer services regardless of the property type and timeline.

Vendor Inspections

These pre-listing inspections are commissioned by the seller to give peace of mind to the potential buyers.

Special-Purpose Reports

Our special-purpose property reports can include:

Crack monitoring
Foundation problems and geotechnical testing
Roof inspections
Wall cracking
Uneven floors

These reports are for particular areas of the property; for example, if a current owner has noticed a wall is starting to crack, we can investigate the cause and recommend a possible solution. The home inspections in Melbourne may include monitoring the cracks to determine the rate of movement and direction. Geotechnical testing may also be carried out, which will involve exposing the footing and gathering soil samples to determine if the cause of the cracking is related to the footing depth or soil structure.

Quality of Tradesman’s Work

A special-purpose property report may be completed if someone has a concern about the quality of work that has been completed by a tradesman. We can review the works and offer suggestions to rectify the problems. For example, if the concrete slab in a garage is cracking excessively, our new home building inspector in Melbourne will investigate the cause of the cracks and whether the slab was built correctly, or if a roof is leaking, we can investigate the cause of the leak and provide a recommendation.
